Rope Climbing 

Top Rope

  • Always use a climbing harness to attach yourself to the rope tying the rope directly into the harness using a rethreaded figure of 8 or bowline both with stoppers
  • Many of the climbs have top ropes already in place. Do not take them down for use on other climbs.
  • It is you're responsibility to vet your climbing partner's ability before they belay you.
  • Always abide by good practice when belaying.
  • Be aware that floor walkers are in centre to keep every one safe
  • Always perform a buddy check belayer to climber and climber to belayer prior to setting off
  • If it is your first time on the wall perform a practice lower after 2 to 3 metres to allow the climber to have a feel for lowering.

Leading

  • Lead belaying requires a higher degree of skill and understanding from top rope belaying and should only be undertaken if you have received training or are experienced in these techniques, if you are unsure ask a member of staff
  • When using lead walls, you must supply your own rated dynamic rope ( we recommend 40m rope for our tallest climb)
  • Quick draws are installed on lead wall. Please don't use your own.
  • You must not miss any clips and should be clipped in order.
  • Edelrid Ohm may be used by clipped into bolt not the quickdraw 
  • Always perform a buddy check belayer to climber and climber to belayer prior to setting off

When Belaying 

  • Always use a belay device attached to your climbing harness with a locking karabiner as per manufacture's instructions.
  • Pay attention to your partner while belaying
  • Always stand close to the wall while belaying .
  • In event of using an anchor please reinstall the cover after use.
  • If you need to use inclusive methods for belaying please inform a member of staff who will be happy to assist.

Auto belays 

  • If you are unsure how to use an auto belay please talk to a member of staff 
  • The matted area on the ground around auto belays is a landing zone, be aware of other climbers when standing in this area
  • Please see any instruction that will be posted next to auto belays
  • No Helmets are to be worn on auto belays 
  • All hoods should be tucked in or removed before using auto belays
  • YOU MUST PREFORM Safety check EVERY time before using auto belays
  • If the belay tape is retracted and the mat is on the ground please contact a member of staff immediately, NEVER attempt to retrieve.
  • When you are ready to descend, look down on every occasion and ensure your landing zone is clear
  • It is best practise to look out for other climbers using the auto-belay devices and promote safe climbing practices.
  • Stay in the line of your climb at all times, going astray will NEGATIVELY affect the response time if you fall and will increase the likelihood of injury or death.
  • An unsupervised adult auto-belay climber may only supervise one child climbing on the auto-belay devices at a time.

Bouldering 

  • Downclimb whenever possible. If this is not possible use a controlled/planned jump.
  • We advise that children should not be allowed to climb to the top of the bouldering wall. The children’s circuit has been specifically set with shorter problems.
  • It is your responsibility to ensure that you can climb down or land safely; don’t climb into a situation that you cannot safely get out of.
  • Never climb directly above or below another climber.
  • Remove anything from pockets that could hurt you when landing.
  • Always be aware of people climbing above and around you.
  • Keep the mat free of objects and obstructions like bags, clothing, chalk bags, brushes, bottles, keys etc.
  • Spotting involves helping someone to control their fall, not trying to catch them. Do not attempt to spot someone unless you feel confident to do it properly. Make sure the climber wants you to spot them.

THE SOFT MATTING DOES NOT REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY

Injuries can still occur even after a controlled/planned jump but are more likely after an uncontrolled fall. You should always be doing your utmost to avoid the risk of uncontrolled falls. This includes paying attention to how you will land and always assessing the risk of each climb that you undertake.

Training Area 

  • Our training area is a multipurpose area, Please respect other users
  • You must use the equipment at your own risk

Our Duty of care

The rules of the climbing centre are not intended to limit your enjoyment of the facilities, they are part of the duty of care that we, as operators, owe to you, the customer, by law. As such, they are not negotiable and if you are not prepared to abide by them then the staff may ask you to leave.

Your Duty of Care

you have the duty of care to act responsibly towards the other users of the centre, follow good practice and abide by the rules of the centre. Statements of 'Good Practice' are posted around the centre adjacent to the relevant facilities. These describe the accepted methods pf use of equipment and climbing areas.

Supervised Climbing 

An adult who has registered at the centre and proved competency, may supervise up to two novice climbers, as long as they are prepared to take full responsibility for the safety of those people.

Groups of three or more novices must only be supervised by an instructor holding the relevant Mounting Leader Training qualification, First aid certificate and insurance.  

All children in the centre must be supervised by an adult unless they have been assessed by the management and registered for unsupervised climbing.

An unsupervised adult auto-belay climber may only supervise one child climbing on the auto-belay devices at a time.

Unsupervised Climbing 

Before you can use the top ropes or lead walls without supervision the centre expects you to be competent in the use of climbing harness, a suitable knot to attach a rope to the harness and a belay device to secure a falling climber or lower a climber from the wall using a rope. Before you can use the bouldering walls with out supervision, you must be aware of the rules of bouldering and know how to use the walls safely. You are required to register to say that you know how to top rope, lead or boulder, that you are prepared to abide by the rules and that you understand the risks involved in your participation. Anyone who is not competent to climb unsupervised must be supervised by a competent person.
